A review by daumari
Of Noble Family by Mary Robinette Kowal
5.0
I think this might actually be my favorite of the Glamourist Histories, and part of me's sad to see that this is the last book... but what a point to go out on.
Vincent's father has passed and because his older brothers are dead and crippled respectively, Vincent and Jane must travel to Antigua to investigate the updated will there. But of course, there are twists and they remain on the island far longer than they want to (frankly, if they Vincents had their way they would've left on day one, but alas.)
Mary Robinette Kowal's commitment to research shows with how fleshed out the Antiguans are and with passing references to contemporary events, as well as the dialect of slaves from different parts of Africa.
